Craps history, like the history of many other casino games is a debatable question. The history of the dice and the dice games history in general is few thousands years old. However, the history of modern craps is a lot shorter – only hundred years. The scientists have some different points of view about craps history and accept a few facts as true. An ancient English game called Hazard is considered by most of the scientists to be the ancestor of the modern craps. There are scholars that believe Hazard originated from an Arabic dice game called "Al Zar" which means "dice" in Arabic and perhaps the game migrated to Europe with the help of merchants even before the 12th century. Thanks to some evidences for dice games even in Egypt dating back to 2600 BC we can conclude that dice games were really created in the Arabic world. There exist some facts according to which a form of craps was played in the time of the Holy Roman Empire. Being in camp, Roman soldiers used to shave down pig knuckles into the shapes of cubes, and toss them onto their inverted shields as a form of entertainment. That is why we use the term "to roll the bones" nowadays. The game Hazard received much popularity in England and in the 17th century there wasn't a single tavern in England where the game Hazard wasn't very well known. Many of the nobility played this game in luxuries casinos. Later the game was adopted by the French but the name of it was changed.*New name of the game was Craps which is a corruption of "Crabs". Maybe the game came to America with the French and maybe with the British. By the 19th century craps was simplified and the modern layout of the game was invented by John H. Winn. The years passed and there was a a decrease in the popularity of craps at the beginning of the 1990's, but the Internet age helped the game to gain popularity again. A great number of people play craps online nowadays.
